HMS Blake
I decided to build from scratch HMS Blake, I used the Jecobin Plan for HMS Tiger 1/96 scale. This was the first ship I served on in the Royal Navy 1976 to 1979. The hull is supplied by Scalewarships.com, the fittings, Scalewarships.com, John Haynes Fittings and SIMAR; the running gear from GT Sitek.
The build is nearing completion and now requires the guardrails and the decks fixing in place.

👍 - shippas69RecruitHI Martin. I would love to see that as I'm finishing a 1/72 scale one. I brought a 70% built Hms Marlborough but converting to an RN one,thinking either Kent,Lancaster or Somerset. I've had to do a couple of mods like changing the Vickers to a kryton version etc. it was mostly tugs n trawlers when I joined but there's more grey funnel stuff now and a few subs as well including my Trafalgar class so it's worth coming down.HI Martin.

PT 301 (Snuffy Smith)
Lovely afternoon at Fleetwood with no other boats in sight. Went for a first sail with Deans HMS Cossack, but a little unstable , so let snuffy loose. She needs an engine change from a 650 and a new paint job. So maybe next year. 😎 😎 😎

- GabbyLeading SeamanMotor has been left insitu, Prop shaft found to be vibrating and has now been fixed. Hull stripped back to bare wood and repainted in camoflage. Spray rails fixed to the hull have made a big difference to stability. Not on the original Aerokits drawings. Can now concentrate on Deans Cossack. Plenty of sheet lead for stability but looks good.Motor has been left insitu, Prop shaft found to be vibrating and has now been fixed. Hull stripped back to bare wood and repainted in camoflage.

- boatyChief Petty Officer 2nd Class😊 I like the model and the motor. Fondly remember Taycol motors in the 1960s. I had an Asteroid in a Veron Viceroy and cost a fortune in dry batteries though it was very enjoyable,😊 I like the model and the motor. Fondly remember Taycol motors in the 1960s. I had an Asteroid in a Veron Viceroy and cost a fortune in dry batteries though it was very enjoyable, I remember the Basset Lowke ready to sail boats which I later found that the same models had been produced in the 1930s. Both models were 39 inches long and one of them ,Streamlinia was steam powered launch with a funnel to the aft of the main cabin and the other was a similar sized launch with a different superstructure and electric power. I must say that Margaret is a masterpiece with traditional quality and detail and a power unit to match. Does anyone know if Basset Lowke are still in business? The last time I saw their name advertised was over 10 years ago when I saw a couple of new O gauge steam locomotives in a model shop Regards Boaty

- andyhynesLeading Seaman😊 Excellent job, I have just restored a tugboat that was covered in bird muck and had been sitting outside for sometime, so I know how hard it can be. But how satisfying when complete 😊😊 Excellent job, I have just restored a tugboat that was covered in bird muck and had been sitting outside for sometime, so I know how hard it can be.

Revell 1/144 Fair Play Tug Boat
I love this Tug since I saw a you tube outbound Hamburg video so I checked a kit and finally realized it, if I had the skill I would have micromotorized it but I'm not capable of, sorry!

- johnfastboatLeading SeamanNot surprised with twin 540 motors. However, nothing wrong with over scale speed. Much better than plowing through the water like a tug! 👍Not surprised with twin 540 motors. However, nothing wrong with over scale speed. Much better than plowing through the water like a tug! 👍
